Just caught the Crowes again last night, and was surprised to see Sven playing through a pair of Acoustic heads and either 6 or 8x10 cabs. The Aguilars weren't even on the stage.

Just caught a few shows in 09 and 2010 and he also used a Hofner and a Rickenbacker on a few tunes, but the Sadowsky is still his main bass.
